Publisher's summary

The Reverend Curtis Black faces shocking new revelations about his wife in the ninth installment of the award-winning series from New York Times bestselling author Kimberla Lawson Roby.

It's been months since Reverend Curtis learned that his wife Charlotte had affairs with two different men, and for now, he continues to be cordial and respectful to her. But he's also made it clear that once their son Matthew graduates high school, he will be filing for divorce.

Charlotte, on the other hand, continues to do everything possible to make amends in hopes of saving their marriage. Unfortunately, Curtis is ready to move on and is being propositioned by a woman who desperately wants to become the next Mrs. Curtis Black. When the situation heads down a path that is frighteningly shocking, could it be the final blow to this once blessed union?

It's a thin line between love and hate

I have recently joined Audible books and when I start the book I can't put it down.

Mrs. Hampton

loved
it! just want to know is it based on a true story? very interesting

great book.

i love all the books in this series. I cant wait to listen to the next one.

Good listen

I really enjoy audio books and I hound this one to be a good listen. I was a little disappointed in Curtis' snd Charlottes characters decision making but I guess that is what makes a good book. Overall I enjoyed this one and I'm looking forward to A House Divided.

Tired

When will Curtis learn? For real, no o e is this dumb or this dense! I would live to believe people actually learn from their mistakes. What can't the characters in this series?! Why?!

Great read! Love, love this series!

What did you love best about The Reverend's Wife?

I continue to enjoy reading how Rev Curtis Black and his family struggle with love and their faith every day and how the poor choices that they have made not only impact their lives but those closet to them. How many more secrets are there!! LOL

Great storyline!

I liked how the book held my interest throughout. It was a continuation of other books in the series. The characters are realistic and modern.

Could the Blacks finally be on track?

I have loved the trials of the Black family since the first book and now in this latest book, could they finally be on track? I certainly hope not. Curtis shows that he is working to keep his promise to God; or is he? I could feel his struggles that he was having with his faith as he moves towards a decision that could not only upset his youngest child but also his congregation. The book was a wonderful listen and Mrs. Roby did not disappoint, however, Charlotte did work on my nerves with her begging and pleading. I cannot wait to see what the Black family will bring us next.

A Soap Opera

Where does The Reverend's Wife rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is the forth book I've read of the Rev. Black series, this one's pretty good. But I think this story line has run out of steam. The characters have FINALLY redeemed themselves.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Both the Rev. Black and his wife have become near and dear to me. Because I've watched them go through so many ups and downs thoughout the series. I just sit back and shake my head.

What does Maria Howell bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She's great at adding life to the characters. Plus with all of them you never get confused with who is who. Every voice is unique.

If you could take any character from The Reverend's Wife out to dinner, who would it be and why?

That's hard to answer, because I just want to ask both of them "Hey, when are you gonna learn?" Especially the wife, she just keeps making the same mistakes over and over again!

Any additional comments?

Like I said. I love this story line, it reads just like a Soap Opera. I can actually see the scenes played out. But I think the Good Reverend's story is kind of played out. I would love to revisit the daughter's story as was intro'd in "The Best ofEverything"

The Thirst Real!

Good Book with a realistic story line. Writing kept me interested. Characters are relatable.
